Premo Sculpey is no longer a reliable clay

Last week, while our student at the clay workshop was looking forward to complete her 5 weeks clay project, it turn out to be a great disappointment for the student.  While baking her project at 130ºC for 30 minutes, after cool the clay cracked, as it was supposed to be glued onto the base. I thought she used Sculpey III, but it was Premo Sculpey. She's totally disappointed and as a clay instructor been using Premo for many years, I am angry at the quality of the clay, as it did not happen to the older Premo and this is a new pack. Refering to my last experience with the Translucent Premo and the current situation, I will not used Premo Sculpey for my workshop. :(









The Repaired Project

After the bad experience with the new Premo Sculpey, it is no longer my favorite
polymer clay, in order not to disappoint the student the project is been repaired 
by Jo-Lin.
The repaired project will allow my student Chloe to complete the project next
week.

Premo Sculpey Quality Is Getting From Good To Bad

I have been using Premo Sculpey for over 10 years and the new productions are inconsistant in color and some of the clays are hard and crumpy, certainly a disappointment for my students using and also customer purchasing them.
